    Pretty funny that when I was younger it made sense that Lisa could be president because she’s really smart. In reality, Bart probably has the better chance. I feel a “im14andthisisdeep” post brewing…

      Trump was in Bitcoin conference this weekend with $800,000 tickets to visit him.

      They are doubling down on the dumbass grifters and money laundering group, a sizable demographic but redundant. The crypto bros, tech bros and conspiracy theorists are basically the same group of people.

      I’m pretty sure cryptocurrency is a toxic subject for many. A good number of people blame cryptocoin grifters for being a shitty cult that steals family members away and their money… And also turns them into unpleasant assholes.

    I think “Pokemon go to the polls” has made a lot of people wary about any pop culture references by politicians, but the issue with Hillary’s comment was that she didn’t really know what Pokemon Go was and tried to work it in to her terrible answer.

    If she has instead said, “Niantic should look into putting PokeStops at every polling site and giving extra items at these spots in particular to encourage voting”, that would be very different. It would show she actually knows about Pokemon Go.

    It’s all about being genuine
